Several public and private sector firms and also various companies' abroad recruit M.Com graduates basically for accounts and finance related functions.
They can secure a job in various

-import export companies.
The insurance industries also recruit these graduates.
In these firms, one can work as accounts officer / business analyst / accountant / finance manager / marketing analyst / operations manager / corporate analyst.
Many companies in foreign countries like USA, UK, Australia and so on recruit large number of talented commerce graduates to various job profiles. The remunerations for these M.Com holders abroad are much higher than that paid in India.
This is one of the foremost reason that the good brains in our country are working in foreign lands.
The pay mainly depends on various factors such as type of the firm, job prospectus, candidates' knowledge, experience, aptitude, skill and many other factors. With experience, the aspirants can move on to higher level posts and can also command more salary.
For more, I wish to invite Arun Dev and Amar R Kakaria to share details.
